For the Kingdom of Finland(1918); I have shown the regents because the King himself never took throne even after being elected. The regents were ruling for that brief period(1918)
Despite facing oppression from both Sweden and Russia throughout History, Finland still emerged as one of the most developed countries in Europe. We in Poland suffered the same through both the sides (Nazis and Communists) and now growing very fast.
swedes treated the finns extrewmly well, they were equal to swedes, had the same job oppurtonities and everything, howveer the russians treated the finns as slaves
@u2boii878well, elite probably treated both swedes & finns like slaves on both sides. It's not like we were much different from other countries in those times.but finns got land for free in sweden because the russian kept harrassing them, they needed more forest and our country was experiencing decrease of population, deadly diseases, death, war, etc . Its called finnmarker in dalarna and they kept their culture intact for a long time and we were influenced by them too. We ofcourse intermarried, had children etc. Some famous people is our prince daniel married to our princess victoria. Svennis (football coach of england) Björn Skifs. There is 1,7 million with svedjefinnish roots today.
@u2boii878Atleast the Finnish people had the right to speak and teach their own language to the or kids and fellow man. All this under Russian rule, but not as a part of Sweden.
1919 is when we finally legalized women's voting rights and 1921 was the first election where Women got to vote. to call that period controversial in the country for its time is an understatement, there was a lot of miss trust and doubt which caused some political chaos.
People still don't understand that Sweden and Finland were the same country with the exact same laws. Sweden didn't "rule" Finland. Today's Finland is basically a construction of the peace treaty between Russia and Sweden in 1809 where many regions "län/läänin" from 1634 were created into a grand duchy.
@@nestoripaukku5532 No they didn't. Same rights, same responsibility. Of course there were second-class citizens in Sweden, but that was not due to language diffrences. It was a hierarchy of 4 classes. Farmers, Priesthood, bourgeois and nobility.
@bugre-z6m No I never said they are the same people, but nation (people) and state are diffrent things. For example the Sami people don't have a state of their own despite cultural differences. The Finns have fought for their independence as a free people and they should be proud of that, but the fact still remains that those borders they fought for were decided by two other states in 1809 and later 1812 when the Grand Duchy was created. By the way, Swedish constitution from 1772 was still intact and Swedish was the only official language under the Russian-rule. Things changed later I know, but that is another story.
You are not incorrect, but it is not that simple. During most of the Swedish rule of the läns that later became Grand Duchy of Finland(which was formed titularily in 1500s and juridically 1809), even in Sweden proper some läns had different legislature. Only after Gustav Vasa and later Axel Oxenstierna started centralising the governance differences started hindering but even then Finland was considered a mere periphery, a part of the country but still different. This position as a periphery is why some people nowadays call Finland (anachronistically) a colony of Sweden, which is was not. It was a periphery. Some people mentioned language in the comments, language at the time was merely a tool. When a finnish-speaking family rose in ranks thanks to financial, adacemical or military success they started using swedish, because that just was the language the members of higher estates used. There are studies that indicate that even when they started using swedish, finnish still remained a "home language" for them. (Time period I am talking about when it comes to this language thing is late middle ages and early modern period.)
Finland misses President Niinistö(2012-2024). He will always be remembered for having enough guts to get Finland into NATO despite Putin's threat unlike his predecessor Halonen(2000-2012) who always had excuses to stop Finland getting into NATO.
She was quite literally Putins ass kisser and a commie. Got rid of landmines that were all around Finnish-Russian border, said in the 70s how Finland should join soviet union because capitalism in going to end in 10 years. She been awfully quiet sience the Russia Ukraine war.
Don't forget that Halonen also signed Finland into the Ottawa Treaty... aka "The Convention on the Prohibition of the Use, Stockpiling, Production and Transfer of Anti-Personnel Mines and on their Destruction"
@@MrZeuz666Finland needs mines to protect itself during a potential Russian invasion on the vast eastern border. We can’t sign such treaties if Russia doesn’t respect them either, that’s foolish and a threat to national security. We are not some dysfunctional war torn country that might end up in a civil war and place mines everywhere. The mines would be placed in the border areas.
That is a misrepresentation. Halonen was/is a communist and a "friend" of Russia, but during her time NATO wasn't popular. Joining NATO only became a popular idea in Finland when Ukraine was attacked. So she sucks, but the reason isn't that she had "excuses".

fun fact: I personally knew Olof Palme’s wife before she died, she was a sweet old lady, and a very good neighbour
Olof was a dirty man .. she must have been great!

Poland suffered way more then Finland. The swedes wasn’t treating them like they did with the Sami people of the region
